The Chicago Blackhawks history is one that is based on Veterans, and if you have read this blog for the last four years you know that history and thanking veterans is a big deal for me.
The Chicago Blackhawks were founded by Frederic McLaughlin who was a businessman who had fought in World War I. During the first Great War, McLaughlin fought in the 333rd Machine Gun Battalion of the 86th Division of the United States Army. The members of this division called themselves Black Hawks in honor of the Sauk Indian chief who fought with the British during the War of 1812.
